Empowering the Point of Value Creation: The Key to Achieving Truly Sustained OpEx Success

Empowering the Point of Value Creation: The Key to Achieving Truly Sustained OpEx Success

Continuous improvement and operational excellence is the objective of all organizations world-wide. However, OpEx initiatives fail far more frequently than they should.  Even those with everything going for them (executive buy-in, proper funding, requisite expertise, etc.) can fail, and even the “successes” sometimes cannot be sustained.  Why?

What can be done to ensure not only improved organizational performance but sustained success?

Salient Management Company believes the answer is to empower the point of value creation.  In this session, we look at the pitfalls and opportunities that exist in a company’s culture, illuminate where culture actually resides and describe how best to cultivate a culture that can guarantee not only the success of your OpEx initiative, but the sustained performance improvements every company strives for.  Data is exploding at an ever-increasing pace, and is now a critical business asset for every organization.  Companies can no longer respond in a timely fashion without a paradigm shift.  To be a global leader, an organization must conquer inertia by harnessing today’s enormous computing power to reduce massive data to actionable decision making at the speed of thought.
